Is there a way to turn off syntax / error checking while writing queries in MySQL Workbench? It lags almost constantly as I'm typing (presumably to check syntax, as it informs me of errors), and gets even worse if I'm connected to a remote server.
Is there any way to turn this off? I check Preferences and the available documentation and I can't find anything.
I'm using 6.0 Community Edition on OSX Mavericks.
The problem is that MySQL Workbench tries to get help information form the server. With a remote server this can block for a moment which is why it has been redesigned to use a background thread or can be entirely switched off (and be run manually, if necessary). Get the latest MySQL Workbench release for this feature.
